It's just that beer is so unpredictable, and no one I've met who has done a cellar course,
Has the faintest idea how beer can and does act.

I found out why my local shut down the other day.
The new landlord apparently cut a deal with Punch so he could get the place rent free on a rolling contract. He then got all his orders from the wholesalers and never placed a beer order with Punch, so they kicked him out.

They will do that. Punch are scum.

Yeah, I'd heard the previous landlady call them all the cunts under the sun for years.
However I don't think they were at fault this time.

Well, depends on the contract he signed.
They usually have a minimum order from them, then whatever you want from elsewhere. Or all keg stock and get your wine and spirits where you want. It's almost certainly his own fault

It was the latter.
Apparently he was an opportunist hoping that punch would go tits up and he could get a deal on the pub.

Whereas, by the look of the way they ramped up the asking price of the building the minute it reopened they just wanted him to keep it warm until they could flog it.
